Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that some of her Republican critics harbored sexual frustration after a political commentator remarked on one of her vacation photos.
A photo of a woman and her boyfriend on a vacation in Florida was posted by a commentator for a conservative TV network. The two people were at a table with drinks and not wearing masks.
"If Leftists thought mandates and masking worked, they wouldn't be in FL," he wrote. He referred to his boyfriend as "gross pale male feet" and "hideous sandals".
The reply was quoted by Ocasio-Cortez. She wrote that if Republicans were upset that they couldn't date her, they could just say that. "Oh yeah, I'm really weird."
The AOC's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted on December 31, 2021.
"It's starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, and LGBT+ people in general," she said.
Several of her critics accused her of trying to distract from her critics. The #AocMeltdown was a popular topic on the social media site on Friday evening.
A vocal member of the Democratic Party's progressive wing and frequent target of conservative commentators, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has spoken out about sexism directed toward her. She discussed "double standards" in the run-up to her first congressional term.
Her visit to Florida has led to online discussion about the need for masks and vaccines.
There are strict guidelines for mask-wearing and vaccination in the Bronx and Queens of New York City. Florida has passed laws that prohibit employers from mandating vaccines and prevent schools from wearing masks.

On Friday, the campaign commented on the photo. "Welcome to Florida, AOC!" the campaign team said. Thanks to RonDeSantisFL's leadership, we hope you're enjoying a taste of freedom here in the sunshine state.
